I am a super cop

Chapter 1391
According to the woman's guidance, Gu Chen made a general observation of the surrounding environment.

To escape to Meishan, there are paths on both sides of the road, but the young woman pointed out a gravel path on the left.

Gu Chen didn't quite understand, so he hurriedly asked her: "Are you so sure? What is your basis?"

"Evidence? The evidence is that Mei Shiqiang often hides in the mountains and plays cards with others. Especially during that time when your police seized gambling the most strictly. Said."

After all, the young woman's home runs a supermarket, and this supermarket is a place with relatively dense circulation of people.

It is not surprising that all kinds of gossip gathered here.

Gu Chen still agrees with the young woman's opinion, at least let the person who is most familiar with the surrounding environment make a judgment, it is a good choice.

So Gu Chen asked again: "I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Xu Xiaotong, you can call me Xiaotong."

"Just graduated?" Police Officer Wang also said jokingly, after all Xu Xiaotong looks like a baby face.

Xu Xiaotong nodded and said, "I have just graduated for a year, and I am currently unemployed at home, helping my dad with the supermarket business."

"So that's the case?" Hearing Xu Xiaotong's words, I feel that Xu Xiaotong is still a chic girl. Officer Wang didn't say anything, and directly suggested: "If you don't have any opinions, how about following Xu Xiaotong's opinion?"

"Okay." Gu Chen didn't mind, and he had the same intention.

Lu Weiwei also said indifferently: "The main thing is to find Mei Shiqiang, it doesn't matter which way you take."

"Then do we still have to go to the supermarket to buy some water and food? After all, we may still be in the mountains at noon." Yuan Shasha was thoughtful.

The main reason is that it is not good to be hungry in the mountains at noon, and everyone eats breakfast very early, which means that it is easy to get hungry quickly at noon.

When Xu Xiaotong heard this, he immediately turned his backpack to his chest, patted and said, "No need, my dad has prepared dry food for me, enough for the few of us to eat from noon to night."

"Are there any snacks?" Lu Weiwei asked, "Shrimp-flavored potato chips are the best. I can buy them from you."

"Haha." Xu Xiaotong shook his head: "There are no shrimp flavored potato chips, but I brought a lot of chocolate."

"Isn't Junior Brother Gu's favorite chocolate?" Thinking that Gu Chen likes to eat chocolate the most, Lu Weiwei doesn't care: "It's okay, anyway, just eat if you have something to eat."

"Those who are away from home, especially on missions, are not here for vacation after all."

Lu Weiwei's ideological awareness is still quite high, and she knows what she is doing here.

But there are no shrimp-flavored potato chips, which is a bit uncomfortable.

At this moment, Gu Chen roughly checked the satellite map of Meishan with his mobile phone, and asked Xu Xiaotong beside him: "Where do we start? How do we get there? Do you have a plan?"

"Let me take a look." Xu Xiaotong took Gu Chen's phone, and accidentally touched Gu Chen with his small hand, his face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head, pursing his lips and said:

"We enter Meishan from here, and we may go around this side along this trail, and then at the fork, we can go to the left first, and then go to the right..."

From the perspective of explaining how to cross Meishan, Xu Xiaotong is worthy of being raised in Meishan Town, and he knows the basic distribution of Meishan's basic routes.

Gu Chen was also listening carefully, and soon had a general impression of the search route.

After Xu Xiaotong finished speaking, Gu Chen took the phone directly and said, "Then follow this route to find it."

"Let me lead the way." Xu Xiaotong glanced at Gu Chen, quickly lowered his head, and led his German Shepherd to walk ahead.

But after walking a few steps, Gu Chen called her to stop: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaotong was stunned, then turned to ask Gu Chen.

Gu Chen walked directly to her side, unloaded Xu Xiaotong's backpack, and said, "I'll carry it for you, and you are responsible for leading the way."

"Okay." Xu Xiaotong nodded silently, feeling that this handsome policeman is quite caring.

Everyone quickly walked into Meishan according to the established route.

Along the way, Xu Xiaotong also looked back three times at every step, looking at Gu Chen behind him from time to time.

Gu Chen and other colleagues searched every corner of Meishan.

Due to the road into Meishan, after a certain distance, it changes from a gravel road to a dirt road.

Due to the rain some time ago, all kinds of traces on the dirt road are intricate, including human footprints and animal footprints.

There are even traces of wheels.

Gu Chen curiously asked Xu Xiaotong: "Do you usually ride bikes uphill?"

"Sometimes." Holding the German Shepherd, Xu Xiaotong turned around and said, "Although the mountain road here is narrow, you can ride a motorcycle."

"There are even many off-road motorcycle enthusiasts who like to travel through this mountain forest."

Seeing Gu Chen's frozen expression, Xu Xiaotong asked him: "What's the matter, Officer Gu? What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, if Mei Shiqiang is really in Meishan, what would he eat every day? You can't eat wild fruits, right?"

"Wild fruits are definitely not enough." Xu Xiaotong denied and said: "In the season of Meishan, there are some wild fruits, but the number is still too small. If a person can eat wild fruits on the mountain for more than half a month, then It's kind of awesome."

"Not to mention diarrhea, you can get tired of eating this wild fruit."

Following behind Xu Xiaotong, Gu Chen also thought about it: "If Mei Shiqiang just stabbed your father, then coming back and turning himself in is better than him running away?"

"Staying alone in the mountains, wouldn't that be a life-threatening punishment? Besides, escaping would add to the charges, so why should this Mei Shiqiang do it?"

"That's right." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Police Officer Wang also expressed his opinion: "Do you think this Mei Shiqiang is stupid? It is obviously a simple matter, but it has to be so complicated."

"If it weren't for the death of several other fellow villagers, we wouldn't have taken so much trouble to find him."

"A few other fellow villagers?" Hearing Officer Wang's words, Xu Xiaotong hesitated and asked, "What happened to his other fellow villagers?"

"Three fell to death, one was strangled to death, and there was another man who fell from the building. We are still confirming his identity." Officer Wang also said casually.

But Xu Xiaotong's hairs stood on end when he heard it, and felt that things were not that simple.

At least the police came back suddenly and actively searched for Mei Shiqiang's whereabouts, which is very intriguing.

"Is the co-author Mei Shiqiang implicated in the other deceased?" Xu Xiaotong asked uncertainly.

"That's not true." Lu Weiwei walked up to her and explained to her, "The deaths of the other people were either suspected accidents or strangled to death by the murderer."

"We are still looking for the murderer's whereabouts, but we found that there is a certain connection between these dead, that is, they all came from the same village in Haidong City."

"Now several other people in the photo have died one after another, only Mei Shiqiang is still active."

"But if it weren't for the choice to escape after accidentally injuring someone some time ago, I guess this Mei Shiqiang would be in danger."

"So scary?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Xu Xiaotong suddenly regretted it.

I regret that I brought everyone to Meishan, and I feel like I have been involved in this way.

After all, no one knows what secrets Mei Shiqiang hides.

It seems that as long as Mei Shiqiang is found, everything will be solved.

Seeing that Xu Xiaotong was a little nervous, Officer Wang quickly changed the subject and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Mei Shiqiang may have a criminal record, but as long as we catch him, he won't be able to hurt your family."

"Well, that's what those policemen said back then." Xu Xiaotong seemed to be used to such rhetoric.

Gu Chen continued to change the subject: "What did you major in university?"

"Computer." Xu Xiaotong tried to calm down, and then said slowly.

"So are you resigning now?" Gu Chen asked again.

Xu Xiaotong nodded silently: "I fired the boss, I feel like a pervert."

"Pervert?" Yuan Shasha asked her curiously, "What's going on?"

"Ham, the past is unbearable to look back on, so it's okay not to mention it." Xu Xiaotong seemed to be very jealous of this matter, and also complained:

"Anyway, the work is not pleasant, and I feel that there are a lot of trivial things. Originally, I wanted to be a female code farmer, but the boss let me participate in various entertainments, and turned me into a public relations person."

"But anyway, I don't like doing public relations. You don't know how annoying it is to accompany those greasy clients to eat every day."

After a pause, Xu Xiaotong said unhappily, "Those people always like to use the name of being drunk to take advantage of you, and you still have nothing to do with them."

"So that's the case?" Hearing what Xu Xiaotong said, Gu Chen probably had a good idea and could understand why Xu Xiaotong chose to resign.

"That's why." Xu Xiaotong also shrugged, and said helplessly, "So I can only fire the boss."

"When I resigned, I directly said that I didn't want to do it anymore. Some time ago, I even wrote a resignation letter to my boss."

"Anyway, the letter said to him like this: I said boss, don't be arrogant, I will no longer flatter you, the meager salary is really stingy, the resignation letter is in your drawer, you don't need to ask me to keep it, don't forget this month's salary, I will come back Get an accountant."

"Pfft." Hearing Xu Xiaotong's remarks, Lu Weiwei couldn't help holding back a smile and said, "I can't tell, you're quite talented in cross talk."

"These are all influenced by them. Those customers talk in a way, and it feels like they are full of routines."

"In front of them, I was like a blank sheet of paper. Anyway, I didn't want to degenerate, so I chose to resign directly. I thought about resting at home for a month before looking for a job. In the end, my father was stabbed. It's a bad thing, don't worry about it."

Speaking of his troubles, Xu Xiaotong also had a look of grief and indignation.

It feels like people are going to be unlucky, and the bad things are really one after another.

It feels like you can't just pick a family to cheat, right?

Before it was me, now it is my father.

If it wasn't for the worry that Mei Shiqiang would return to Meishan Town for revenge, he wouldn't have to work so hard to bring the police to search the mountain.

Everyone also continued to walk into the mountains with ridicule.

……

……

At 12:[-] noon, everyone rested on the spot by a trail, preparing to eat something before going on the road.

Just as everyone was resting, a middle-aged man with a travel backpack came from the other side of the mountain road.

When seeing everyone, he couldn't help being taken aback.

The main reason is that the police uniforms of Gu Chen and the others are too dazzling.

But Xu Xiaotong seemed to know the person, so he asked casually, "Aren't you the old Zhang from the pharmacy? What's the matter? You go up the mountain to collect herbs?"

"That's right." Seeing that Xu Xiaotong took the initiative to communicate with him, Lao Zhang, who picked medicine, also put his backpack on one side, took out the water bottle and filled two sips of water, and chose to sit opposite the crowd to rest for a while.

Officer Wang stepped forward vigilantly, pointed to Lao Zhang's backpack and asked him curiously, "What kind of medicine do you take on the mountain?"

"They are all common yams, and they have to be taken back for processing." Lao Zhang, a herb collector, said casually.

Officer Wang said again: "Then can you show me?"

"Yes." Concerned about Officer Wang's status as a police officer, Lao Zhang nodded in tacit agreement.

Of course, seeing these policemen coming to the mountain, and Xu Xiaotong leading the German Shepherd, Lao Zhang knew that the situation was not so simple.

Officer Wang was not idle, and started routine inspections directly.

But after some searching, it was found that the various plastic bags in the backpack were really some herbs from the mountains.

Officer Wang had never even seen many herbs.

Gu Chen looked at Lao Zhang's nervous expression, and asked him curiously, "You often come to the mountains to collect herbs, right?"

"Not necessarily." Taking a sip of tea, the herb-picker Lao Zhang also said truthfully: "Sometimes, five or six times a month, sometimes once or twice a month, mainly depends on the weather, and this herbal medicine time to grow."

"Because there are so many herbs in Meishan, not only me, but also many people from our Meishan Town will come here to pick weeds."

"Then have you seen Mei Shiqiang who hurt people in the town half a month ago in the mountains?"

Gu Chen turned on his phone, and showed Mei Shiqiang's photo in front of him.

Lao Zhang, who picked the medicine, glanced at it, shook his head and denied it: "I haven't seen it, but during that time, I heard from the people in the town that this Mei Shiqiang escaped from the supermarket, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

After a pause, Lao Zhang glanced at Xu Xiaotong, and said, "Isn't that Xu Xiaotong's father?"

"That's right." Xu Xiaotong was also angry, and complained: "My dad is really unlucky. I gave him 8000 yuan on credit, and in the end he stabbed my dad. It's just a wolf."

"But now he doesn't know where he went. We suspect that he is hiding in the mountains. No, bring the police over to search."

"Will the time span be too long? After all, it's been more than half a month." Hearing what Xu Xiaotong said, Lao Zhang felt a little regretful.

But Xu Xiaotong shook his head and said jokingly, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Not to mention it has only been more than half a month, even if it has been a year, he must be brought back and give my father an explanation."

"That's right." Lao Zhang nodded silently, and understood the reason why these policemen went up the mountain.

Looking down at his watch, he saw that the time was almost up, and the police officer over there did not find any doubts.

So Lao Zhang picked up his backpack and said, "Then I have to go down the mountain."

"Walk slowly." Xu Xiaotong stood up and watched Lao Zhang, who was collecting medicine, gradually leave.

But after a dozen or so steps, Lao Zhang, who collected the medicine, suddenly turned around again, pointed to a direction and reminded, "Have you searched there?"

"Not yet." Lu Weiwei stood up and said.

Old Zhang took a few steps back and said: "Half a month ago, I found that there seemed to be traces of people living in the hut on the hill over there. Calculating the time, it might be the two days when your father was stabbed." .”

"Because I didn't pay attention at the time, I just happened to pass by, so I didn't pass by."

"What is that hut for?" Officer Wang asked him curiously.

Old Zhang, who collected medicine, replied with a faint smile: "Some donkey friends in the industrial area used to come to Meishan for hiking, and they built a temporary foothold."

"But then most of those people seemed to have left the Meishan Town Industrial Park, so the organization that hiked through the jungle disbanded."

"And the temporary hut that was built is also idle there."

"Usually those of us who go up the mountain to collect herbs, occasionally pass by there, will stop to rest, to hide from the rain or something."

"Anyway, I feel that if that Mei Shiqiang really wanted to hide in the mountains, he might use that place as his foothold."

After a pause, Lao Zhang, who picked the medicine, said again: "Of course, this is just my guess. You can use it as a reference."

"Thank you." After getting the information from the old Zhang who collected the medicine, Gu Chen also felt like a treasure, and quickly asked: "Then how can we get to that hut from here?"

"You go from here." Lao Zhang, the herb collector, pointed to a small path in the mountain and said, "Pass this path, turn over a small hillside, and you will see a slightly wider road, and then walk along the road into the mountain. , it will take about an hour to arrive.”

"Thank you, thank you very much." Gu Chen felt that the clues provided by the herb collector Zhang were very timely, and Gu Chen also thanked him in every possible way.

Old Zhang, who picked the medicine, twisted his body, lifted his backpack up, and waved his hands to say goodbye: "Then I wish you good luck."

Seeing Lao Zhang's figure drifting away, Gu Chen hurriedly put his backpack back on his back and said, "Time is running out, let's set off immediately."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lu Weiwei was also impatient.

Everyone sorted out their equipment on the spot, then followed Demu and ran towards the hut together.

……

……

Sure enough, after walking for nearly an hour, a small wooden house suddenly appeared on the top of the hill.

Lu Weiwei even looked at her watch, feeling that the time calculation was very accurate, and she couldn't help but sigh: "That old Zhang who collects herbs is indeed experienced, and he can even calculate the walking time so accurately."

"Then the hut on the top of the mountain should be the place he said."

"Yeah." Xu Xiaotong nodded silently, but said in confusion, "But I've never been here before, so it feels quite mysterious."

Looking back at the direction down the mountain, the buildings in Meishan Town were also blocked by various undulating hilltops, and it felt like everyone had come to a deep mountain.

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone at this moment, and used the satellite map to locate everyone's specific location.

"Judging from the location on the mobile phone, we should have come to the hinterland of Meishan, the central location. Everyone, pay attention to the situation around you and be careful."

After the words fell, Yuan Shasha walked towards the side of the road alone, Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "Xiao Yuan, what are you doing?"
